The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have today announced a new commission to explore what support families and households need to flourish in today\u2019s society.<\/p>\n
This new Commission follows the Archbishops\u2019 Commission on Housing, Church and Community, whose final report \u2018Coming Home<\/a>\u2019 was published in February 2021. This new Commission will aim to build on that work, formally beginning its work in May and look to report in winter 2022.<\/p>\n The origin of the Commission lies in Archbishop Justin\u2019s 2018 book \u2018Reimagining Britain<\/a>: Foundations for Hope\u2019. Building on a key chapter, \u2018Family \u2013 Caring for the Core\u2019, the Commission aims to articulate and address the pressures and challenges facing families and households, whilst also highlighting the good and the positive in terms of what works well and how that can be built on, drawing on Christian tradition.<\/p>\n It will aim to offer practical and deliverable ideas on what enables families and households to thrive and prosper as the cornerstone of every community in our society.<\/p>\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n A new commission to explore what support families & households need to flourish in today\u2019s society has been announced by @JustinWelby<\/a> @CottrellStephen<\/a> @MothersUnion<\/a> @ChichesterDio<\/a> has been enabling families to flourish since 1891https:\/\/t.co\/wgAdM7f1xH<\/a><\/p>\n — MU Chichester (@MUChichester) March 17, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
